  I took one of Mom's roommates down to cafe for her to get a fruits snack & a small coffee. Wheeled her out into the warm sunshine, by these mixed floral planters. We spent 30 minutes out there. She told me about her best/happiest years, living in Thailand, Cambodia & Laos. She volunteered at several health clinics, helping victims of colonial violence, including generational Agent Orange victims. I was told how she worked for Red Cross, in several places across Africa, from her early 20s-early 30s & that is when she started getting really angry at how colonial violence/white privilege hurt so many people in Global South. I can understand why she became an anti-colonial anarchist a lot better, after hearing some of her life history 💗🙌💗 I thanked her for sharing her lived experiences & her thoughts about current state of the world with me, a stranger 💗🫂
